PMFL Weekly email – Happy New Year! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Bonne année!

Happy New Year! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Bonne année!
Welcome back everyone!
Looking forward to another year of sharing ideas with you all.
Remember it is not too late to sign up for the Translatathon event! Details are attached.
The final will be held at Beverley Grammar School on Thursday 25th June 2026.

This week, why not revisit the months of the year with these two songs and ideas:
Explain to the children that although the months of the year for each language have many near cognates, pronunciation can still be a challenge. Use it as an opportunity to focus on the phonics for French or Spanish. Use actions and ask the children to come up with ideas for how they might be able to remember sound – spelling links.

We also have a CPD event which will run in March and again in April this year at two different venues to suit
(note the content is the same if you previously attended our autumn event).
